House design and risk of malaria, acute respiratory infection and gastrointestinal illness in Uganda: A cohort study
House construction is rapidly modernizing across Africa but the potential benefits for human health are poorly understood. We hypothesised that improvements to housing would be associated with reductions in malaria, acute respiratory infection (ARI) and gastrointestinal illness in an area of low malaria endemicity in Uganda. Data were analysed from a cohort study of male and female child and adult residents (n = 531) of 80 randomly-selected house…
Mapping global variation in human mobility
The geographic variation of human movement is largely unknown, mainly due to a lack of accurate and scalable data. Here we describe global human mobility patterns, aggregated from over 300 million smartphone users. The data cover nearly all countries and 65% of Earth's populated surface, including cross-border movements and international migration. This scale and coverage enable us to develop a globally comprehensive human movement typology. We q…
The effect of malaria control on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa between 2000 and 2015
Since the year 2000, a concerted campaign against malaria has led to unprecedented levels of intervention coverage across sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the effect of this control effort is vital to inform future control planning. However, the effect of malaria interventions across the varied epidemiological settings of Africa remains poorly understood owing to the absence of reliable surveillance data and the simplistic approaches underlying …
There’s No Place Like Home”: An American Koan
I use the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz as an occasion to reflect on the various ways a desire for ultimate fulfillment is configured in religion. Typically, the film’s climactic motto—“There’s no place like home”—is taken as a straightforward expression of the familiar view that fulfillment is the result of a quest, the yearning that takes Dorothy to Oz and back again. There is another religious paradigm, however, that presents fulfillment as a mat…
Monarchism and Absolutism in Early Modern Europe
This fascinating and important collection of essays grew out of a conference held at the University of Sussex in July 2010. Collectively, the papers do much to deepen and enrich our understanding of monarchism and absolutism in early modern Europe. As several of the contributors point out, these are examples of words ending in ‘ism’ that were not used in the early modern period. As a result, they have proved notoriously slippery in the historiogr…
"The Sphinx Must Solve Her Own Riddle": Emerson, Secrecy, and the Self-Reflexive Method
This article offers a fresh approach to the religious thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson, exploring (1) the particular conception of secrecy in connection with which he understands the human spiritual predicament and (2) his response to this predicament by means of a self-reflexive turn in his writing-a procedure designed to undermine quests for truth elsewhere and so to restore the self to the wholeness implicit in its initial conditions. The operat…

Central Asia: A New Great Game
The author examines struggle for influence in the region by Russia, Iran, Pakistan, India, and China. Serious political, economic, ethnic, religious, and social challenges confront the region, which seem to present opportunities for these states; but, the risks that increased instability would ricochet back on them are too great. Thus in its own way, each has promoted regional stability while seeking to expand its influence through economic means…
The triage of stroke rehabilitation
In this paper we describe the use of triage to select patients for a trial in which a comparison was made of the effectiveness of a stroke unit and medical units in the rehabilitation of acute stroke. Completing the triage for hospital admission of stroke enabled an estimate to be made of the size of a stroke unit per unit of population
